- HL1 Servers (HLDS) (https://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=131)

- - HLDS (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=254173)

Hello everyone,

So basically my problem is that whenever I try to launch HLDS, I get this error

PHP Code:


		
			
Fatal Error: (Shutting down unable to initialize steam

So what I'm doing is closing steam, and restarting it, then HLDS would work. It's really annoying, because my server crashes, and I want it to auto restart, I'm using HLSM, but HLDS won't start, only if I restarted steam.

I've read people's post on how to fix it, here are some fixes that people used, but they do not work for me.

#1

Code:

@echo off

cls

title StartUp

:hlds

echo (%time%) HLDS Started...

reg add "HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam\ActiveProcess" /v SteamClientDll /t REG_SZ /d "" /f

start /wait hlds.exe -console -game cstrike -master -noipx +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 12 +port 27015

echo n| goto hlds

echo (%time%) HLDS Crashed, restarting...

goto hlds

Code:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam\ActiveProcess" /v SteamClientDll /t REG_SZ /d "" /f

#3 Creating a .txt file, naming it steam_appid.txt, and writing in it 10.

Here are the following Outputs of

Code:

rcon version

rcon meta version

rcon meta list

rcon amxx version

rcon amxx modules

rcon amxx plugins

rcon status

Thanks, I just wanted to know how can I fix this error, my players complain about server crashing, so I decided to run an auto-restarter.

I wasn't Facing this problem until I updated my server using Steamcmd.

Thank you.

Have you tried removing the non-AMX Mod X modules? Remove the booster and the antidl file (which isn't needed anymore anyways). See if that improves anything.

You mean removing orpheu? if so, I'll try.

when the server crashes, it says that the error occurred in the module "swdl.dll"

no, he means the metamod modules (2 & 3 in the third screenshot).

Ok, I'll try that.

But am I the only one who's facing this issue?

I really need a fix for it.

Try removing the Registry line

I should log-in to steam or steamcmd? I usually log-in to steam. Or they're the same?

thanks.

Try not running Steam on the same machine you are running your SteamCMD servers

Well the server won't be able to start if steam is not on.
